I can't agree. You can sail on to a buoy or an anchorage, but sailing into Lymington Yacht Haven is beyond most. I would not like to try to enter a marina under sail.
You cannot trust news papers to make accurate reports, it is quite possible he put an anchor down and called the coast-guard for a tow, no need to try to be a hero in these circumstances.
